1. Raymond James Stadium (Tampa Bay Buccaneers)

This is the closest thing to perfection you will ever see when it comes to a place in which two teams engage in battle. Raymond James has the perfect balance of theatrical props, while also having a great looking field.

First things first, let’s get the obvious out of the way- there is a whole, honest to God Pirate ship in one of the end zones, which is by far the best prop in the NFL for any team. To add onto that, the cannonballs firing every time the Bucs score is a great touch, as well, and very fun for the fans in attendance every week.

The calligraphy in the end zones is the best in the NFL, as well. The old pirate script font is a hand-in-glove fit that matches the team incredibly well, and the jolly roger at mid-field continues to be arguably the best logo in sports.

The design of the stadium is also incredibly pleasing. It’s very symmetrical and it looks as if the stadium was built around the field. There’s a reason Raymond James Stadium regularly hosts Super Bowls; it is an art form of architecture and pageantry unlike any other in the NFL.
